The AFA is in the amount of $10,127,631.00 and provides for a local match in the amount of $1,775,000 of which $1,000,000.00 has been provided by Tarrant County and City participation in the amount of $775,000.00. Other expenditures to be transferred include $229,261.66 from the Heritage Park project (City project No. CO2471) to the Heritage Park; Bus 287 to Weatherford project (City Project No. 104146). These expenditures are related to the Advanced Funding Agreement and include City staff charges and consultant design charges.

The Heritage Park; BUS 287 to Weatherford Street project includes elements for enhancing the safety of pedestrian and vehicular movements. Improved pedestrian safety will be in the form of "bulb -outs" at the four intersections surrounding the Tarrant County Courthouse and at the intersection of Throckmorton and Belknap Street. Vehicular movement improvements will include installation of new traffic signals and roadway/lane alignments, removal of the bus counterflow lane on West Belknap Street and adjusting the geometry of Commerce Street and Houston Street adjacent to Paddock Park. New concrete pavement will be constructed on Belknap Street between Commerce Street and Houston Street. This Heritage Park; BUS 287 to Weatherford Street project is integral to the future success of the overall project to revitalize and improve the adjacent Heritage Park, which includes Heritage Plaza, and Paddock Park. Heritage Park and Paddock Park are located on the northern edge of the Trinity River bluff along and overlooking the Trinity River.

The action in this M&C will amend the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 27107-09-2024.
